Saturday Review of Books: September 6, 2008

Sep5

“Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier.”
~Kathleen Norris

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.

Here’s how it works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime this week of a book you’re reading or a book you’ve read. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can just write your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.

Now post a link here to the specific post where you’ve written your book review. Don’t link to your main blog page because this kind of link makes it hard to find the book review, especially when people drop in later after you’ve added new content to your blog. In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’re reviewing. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.

  2. Thank you, Sherry, for hosting, Saturday Review. I especially love the Kathleen Norris quote. Which book is it from? I have a (long shot) opportunity to see Norris in Portland this month.

  3. Carol. thanks for contributing. I don’t know which book the quotation is from. I collect bookish quotations from everywhere and save them in a document, and I don’t always save the information on where I got them.

  5. Thanks for hosting this. I am sharing a new title by Temple Grandin PhD about Autism and Asperger’s. It is brand new and I plan to start reading it today.

  7. Thanks again for hosting. I’m not participating this week but, I’ll still enjoy the bountiful harvest of book ideas.

  8. This is a neat idea. Thanks for hosting such an idea. It will be fun looking through the reviews. I wish I could post a link to a review I did in August as the book was great! Oh well. Of to read the reviews.

  9. Thanks so much for the invite to this! I love the idea and I’m looking forward to reading plenty of new blogs and great reviews through your website.

  10. I just stumbled across this blog and think this is a wonderful way to find out about interesting reads. I have contributed a review of Tan Lines by JJ Salem.

    Thanks so much for hosting this 🙂
